Recent extensions at 2 Dublin Hospitals used VeeLites low profile ‘StreetLed’ luminaires. These 90w LED Street lights on 5m Poles provide excellent light distribution to comply with road lighting standards with low glare and high efficiency. Light levels are approx 30 Lux average with 30% unformity.
The high quality white light colour emitted has significant advantages over traditional HPS street lighting as it enables clear ‘daylight type’ recognition of colours which helps to identify Pedestrians, objects, etc. LED lighting also minimises maintenance and relamping with its expected life of 60,000 hours average (or typically 16 years). This is double the life time of HPS and 3 or 4 times the lifetime of Metal Halide.
As an option, LED Street lighting can also be controlled by Occupancy Sensor to provide significant energy saving and switching off when it is not required. Frequent switching is not a problem with LED lighting but is not possible with traditional HPS or Metal Halide lighting.
VeeLite can compliment LED Street lighting with LED Carpark Luminaires, LED Groundlights and LED Bollard lighting.
